You may want to monitor for any neurological symptoms and also consider taking him to be assessed by a neurologist if you are still concerned.
Neurological symptoms include persisting headache like you mentioned, blurred vision, loss of balance, nausea, abnormal eye movements, dizziness, loss of consciousness, seizures, confusion, excess drowsiness.
A neurologist would conduct another nervous system examination and also may also suggest additional tests.
I hope this helps
